Geoffrey FiegerI hate to kill a good story, but Geoffrey Fieger is not running for governor -- no matter how unenthused Democrats are about the current field or how much reporters would love to cover the lawyer's steady stream of outrageous statements and outbursts.

Fieger said he will make an announcement this week if he is running, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be no. Jack Lessenberry, who perhaps knows Fieger better than any other journalist after covering the Dr. Kevorkian chronicles, makes a pretty compelling case.

It's true that Fieger is back in the spotlight, thanks to his work on the HBO biopic, "You Don't Know Jack." It's also true that his name recognition, thanks to his world-famous law firm and unsuccessful '98 bid for governor, made the flamboyant attorney the frontrunner in a recent poll.
